That final score marks IU’s first Big Ten shutout since 1993 and its largest margin of victory since 1990.

Indiana celebrated Senior Day in Bloomington and had to wait out a near two-hour lightning delay due to thunderstorms passing through Central Indiana.

Ultimately, IU’s ground game kept them in control of Rutgers, at one point rushing 24 times in a row. They finished with 267 yards on the ground from 48 carries, averaging better than five and a half yards per rush.

The Hoosiers (5-6, 2-6 Big Ten) kept their bowl hopes alive with the win. Now, a third-straight bowl appearance hinges on their season finale, Saturday November 25 in West Lafayette against Purdue. Indiana has won four-straight games against their in-state rival Boilers.
